Kelp Persistence - R7 - CDFW [ds3151]

Published by California Department of Fish and Wildlife | State of California | Catalog Last Checked: July 28, 2025 at 10:29 PM | Dataset Last Updated: February 15, 2024 at 05:16 PM
Yearly California kelp canopy surveys from 2002 - 2006, 2008 - 2010, and 2013 - 2016 were each rasterized at a 5m cell size using a Boolean raster with presence/absence values (e.g. 1 or 0). The resulting raster grids were added together using a raster calculator resulting in a raster with counts (value) of how many yearly instances where kelp was present in that cell over the period of all the surveys. An additional attribute indicating administrative kelp bed number was added. Source kelp canopy input data are retrieved from CDFW at this location: https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/R7_MR/BIOLOGICAL/Kelp/.
